Measuring Complexity of Multi-agent Simulations - An Attempt Using Metrics

Abstract The variety of existing agent-based simulations is overwhelming. However – especially when comparing agent-based simulation to other simulation paradigms, a reference frame is missing that allows characterizing shortly and discriminating between simulation models. In this contribution, I address this problem by introducing metrics for measuring properties of agent-based simulations for finally being able to characterize the complexities involved in developing such a model.
